When people connect directly with other people, and ideas and resources can be connected freely through this network, it will facilitate projects that allow people to cooperate in realising their potential for the benefit of both themselves and the whole of society. We propose that such a network architecture will allow people around the world to collaborate and share resources using a simple and engaging interface. | When people connect directly with other people, and ideas and resources can be connected freely through this network, it will facilitate projects that allow people to cooperate in realising their potential for the benefit of both themselves and the whole of society.

The cost of starting up would be greatly reduced due to the far more effective use of idle resources that information sharing makes possible. Also, as more people use this network, their overall requirements can be reduced due to the effects of 'economy of scale'. | ||

On the level of society this opens the door to increased creativity through people being able to build on each others' achievements, and extend existing knowledge easily. | ||

Participants' activity cycles can naturally be synchronized, so that organisations and individuals can coordinate their resource usage cycles. Generally speaking, this allows people to achieve more with less. When the activity cycles of all participants are known as well as the potential of all processes to connect with each other, an evolving culture of synchronicity is fostered within the network.</blockquote> | ||
